Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion syndrome (MDS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive diseases characterized by a reduction in mtDNA copy number. Several nuclear genes have been shown to account for these severe oxidative phosphorylation disorders, but the disease-causing mutations remain largely unknown. METHODS: By virtue of homozygosity mapping, we tested...
